LAST. THE two parties in the National Aflembly take their feats on the right and left of the Proficient : The periodical writers distinguish them by the names of black(uo\ri) and enraged (enrages.) A memorial was presented to the Aflembly on the i6ih, by the Keeper of the Seals the Archbilhop of Bordeaux, informing that feody of the outrages committed at Bczrcrs, with a request from the King, that the Aflembly would take into consideration some cffe&ual means to check the like disorders, and to restore public tranquility. This memorial occasioned warm debates, the democratic party exclaiming against pursuing any rigorous measures, and excufmg the excess.sot the people, whilst the opposite party painted them in the blackcft folors. The declared friends of liberty, oppoled likrwiffe to anarchy, 'nforoed their opinions,that the'Conftitntion could never be cftablilhed in the midst of carnage and disorders, such were the of the Duke de Rocliefoucauit, Count Clermont Tonnerre, and particularly the Marquis de la Fayette, •who always like himfelf, spoke on the iß;h, not as the pretended friend oj the people, but as a nun of honor, and a true citizen.

Obligations of treaty, and gratitude, connect it with the Court of Pcteviburgh, and it will be very painful to fee that power and the Imperial Court, its ally, exposed to the combined attacks of a league, dif proportioned to the ballauce of the powers of Europe : We know not where to Attribute the aflertion, circulated in the public pa pers, that a bod y ot Pruflian troops is about being assembled under' the ovdersot Dote Ferdinand of Brunfwick, in order to hold Den mark in refpc£t on the fide of tfolllein.

JOHN's, (Antigua) June 7 Yesterday in the forenoon, an American East-India Brig called the Cadet, and commanded by Capt. Vans, belonging to Boston, pafled this Island indiftrefs ; this vessel attempted to make this port, but from her Ihattcred situation could not effect it, and was Under the neeeflirv of fliapmg her conrfe for the Island of St. Euf tatius. By Mi . Davis, [a Gentleman who came paiT nger in the above veiiel, and who lias been for some time in the East-Indies). we have been favoured with the following unpleasant intelligence. That His Majeftv's Frigate the Guardian, Capt. Kiou, bound to New Holland, had struck upon an iiland of Ice, not far from the Cape of Good Hope, at a tune she had all her fails set and was go ing at the late of twelve knots an houi ; that it. was in confe q'uence deemed necessary to put all her fails immediately aback; which mcafure, unfortunately however, gave the (hip so much way, that before any thing else could be done, (he again ilruck upon another mafsof Ice, by which (he was so much (hat ti.red,partifjulrrly about her item, and made so much water that the greater part of the crew thought it neccftary, for the prcferva tion of their lives, to abandon the ship : the Captain notwuh ftanding and a few of the Officers and Men, by the most unremit ting labor at the pumpN, and their cool and excellent conduct, got thcShip into the Cape ; where it is supposed flie will be broken up. Oneof the boats and people were taken upby a French Frigate, and carried into St. Helena ; the other boat, (to which the re mainder of the ctcw that had left the Ship, had betaken them lelves), fafe to the Ope. The Cadet failed from Mjdrafs in bound to B >fton, onhrr (be touched at Sumatra, where she remained fonie months ; and afterwards called in at the Cape, where Hie lay about fifty d«rys ; from whence fbe encoun ered very severe wea ther, which .occasioned her fp-inging a leak, and it was with the utmost. difficulty (be could be kept above water.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. THURSDAY, JUNE i. IN Committee of the whole on the bill providing for the settle ment of accounts between the United States and individuals S:ates. The firft clause propofrd that the Secretary jand Comptroller of the treasury (hould be affotiated with the three Commifliorters, already appointed—This was objetted to by Mr. Gerry, he ob served thai if the appointment of the additional Commiflioners was vested in the supreme executive, agreeable to the Constitution, there can be no doubt that the appointments would be made from such different partsof the Union, as would give Univerfcl fatisfac tion. Upon the plan of the bill two of ;the Commiflioners will be from South-Carolina, Mr. Kean and the Comptroller, an ex treme part of the Union. This he prcfumed would oOt give fa tisfaftion ; besides, he said it was invading the prerogative of the President. He moved therefore that the words Secretary and Comptroller of the Treasury should be (truck out—and the words " two commidinner•>" inserted. Mr. Sedgwick, rofc tq enquire why there ftiould be An addi tion to the commiflTioners P He observed that encreafing ehe men who are appointed to tranfaft any business, is generally found to protract the completion of such bufinefV ; he nad very little hope that the accounts, in the way they arc now in, would ever be fa tisfaftorily fettled—he moved to strike out the whole clause. Mr. Williamfon made some obfervatrons in support of the la life. Mr. Fitr.fimons, one of the committee stated the reasons which induced them to make the association. Hie observed that the ob ]c£lions which had been now made occurred to the Committer With refpeft to the obje£lion from the Comptroller's being from South-Ccrolina, that was obviated by its being known that the accounts of that State were fully and very accurately made out by the late commiflioner from that State, and therefore no undue in fluence was to be apprehended on that account : That from the Comptroller's appointment as an officer of the United States, and not of any particular State, aud h»s being conue&ed with the Trea sury Department, there appeared to be a propriety in adbciating him with the Commillioners. An increife in the number of the Commillioners had been found on experience to be afefolntcly ne ceflfary, for a variety of reasons which he stated. Mr. Sherman expressed his approbation of the clause in the bill. He thought the addition proposed would be a "measure of utility, that it was proper in itfelf, and with refpe& to the Comptroller, he was Co much acquainted with him, that he had the fulleft con fidence in his abilities and integrity. The proportion is eligible in another view, as it will be deriving great advantage from the abilities of the gentleman without any additional expcnce. Mr. Lawrance opposed the clause on similar principles with those offered by Mr. Gerry; and with refpe£l to encrealing the weight of public business in the hands of theie officers, without an allowance for U, he conld not fee either thejuflice or propriety o fit. Mr. Vining read a clause, which he proposed so offer as a sub stitute for that in the bill ; the object ot which was to bring this business into the Treasury Department, under the fuperintendance of the Secretary of the Treasury and Secretary of State. This idearcccived the approbation of Mr Madison. He stated the different principles, from those which under the Confederati on directed the public eftabli foments, which ought to influence the government nnder the present Constitution. Mr. Gerry obje&ed to th proposed fubftituie. He confidcred it as a very extraordinary innovation. He argued against it prin cipally on the ground of its unconftitutionality, as interfering with the right of the President and Senate in making the appoint ments. He replicd»to the answer wfcizhJud be- n given to his objection, from there being more than one Commiflioner from a particular State ; he observed the answer proved too much—he had as high an opinion of the hohor and abilities of the gentleman alluded to, as any member of the committee, and he had no doubt that competent characters to form the whole board might be fe )efted from many particular parts of the United States ; but would any gentleman said he think such a measure politic or eligible ? The appointments made by the President of the United States were upon a different principle ; he controverted the idea of vcft ing such extensive powers as the fuhftitute offered by Mr. Vining propof d, and with refpeft to appointments he observed that of all the branches of the legiftature, the Houfc was perhaps the least qualified to make them. Mr. Vming supported his proportion—he observed that his motion was not a greater than that proposed by the bill ; he stated theincompetency of the present fyltem, he thought the houfc had been too much influenced by the resolutions and regulations of the old Congress ; he wiftied that principles and not precedents Ihould influence the decisions of Congress in future -.-with refpett to the present commillioners he had as hi<*h an o pinion of the abilities of the gentlemen as any man, and he doubt ed not that they'would be re-appointed ; he expatiated on the ntcefiity of a new arrangement in this business, and enforced the propriety of appointingcharafters eminent in the public estima tion, whose decilions would be the refuk of a comprctenfive com petent view of the lubjett. Mr. Gerry's idea was finally adopted by the House, and the appointments of the additional commillioners devolved on the President of the United States. MONDAY, JULY j. Mr. Lawrance introduced a representation and petition from sundry persons confined for debt in the goal of the county and city of New-York, 011 the fubjedl of a general bankrupt law read and laid on the table. • The petition of John Steward and John Davis, merchants in Annapolis, praying that the duty 011 a quantity of fait imported by them, which was destroyed before landing, might be remitted.

An ACT for giving cited- to an A<fl, providing for the enumeration of the inhabitants of the United Stares in refpeA to the State of Rhode Itland and Providence Plantations! and an Art authorizing the purchase of atracftofland therein mentioned. In committee of the whole, on the bill for de termining the temporary and permanent feat of government — N'r. Boudinot in the chair. The bill being read Mr. Shennan moved that the following words should be struck out of the firft clause, viz. " On the river Potowriiac at fomt place between the mouths of the Eajtcru Branch and 515 ConogoehegueJ"—and moved to infect a clauffc which fhoula include the town of Haltimore, in lieu thereof.—>— This motion brought on a de l bate, which lalted til) after 3 o'clock. Mr. Smith, of Maryland, and Mr. Carrol, mo-- ved in the course of the debate, that the petitions from Baltimore and Georgetown, (honld be read.
